After landing on the ground, the Black Pig King used a short axe to cut open the giant beetle’s head and took out a ball of dark green brain tissue. After finding the crystal core, he tossed it to Tie Zha. Then, he took out a canned box from his body and put the remaining brain tissue inside.

“Is this edible?” Seeing the Black Pig King’s actions, Tie Zha asked curiously.

“You can’t eat it, but it has other uses. You’ll know in the future.” The Black Pig King revealed a mysterious smile and said.

Seeing his eyebrows twitching, Iron Slag only frowned and did not continue to ask. After dinner, the Black Pig King simply treated the wound and fell asleep. Seeing this, Iron Cinder had no choice but to take charge of the vigil in the middle of the night. However, in the second half of the night, the Black Pig King was still asleep. Considering that he was injured today, Tie Zha did not wake him up and continued to guard the second half of the night.

The next morning, the sleepy Black Pig King looked at Tie Zha with bloodshot eyes. He didn’t react for a moment and asked stupidly, “Why didn’t you sleep last night?”

“If you don’t wake up next time, I’ll use my gun to call you.” Tie Zha threatened as he played with the Merlin revolver in his hand.

“Uh” The Black Pig King was speechless for a moment.

After tidying up the camp, the two continued on their journey towards Blackwater Lake.

A few days later, Tie Zha gradually felt that something was wrong with his body. A few days before he entered the high radiation zone, he was fine, but on the fifth day, he felt a burning sensation on his chest as he breathed. This was a sign that the radiation concentration in his body was too high. He looked at his watch and found that the radiation concentration in his body had already reached 23%. Then, he measured the radiation concentration of the Black Pig King and found that it was only 9%. It seemed that the beetle’s endurance and regeneration had a very good effect on resisting radiation. Unfortunately, his ability was close to saturation and he could no longer absorb it.

When the Black Pig King noticed that Tie Zha was in a strange state, he took out a pack of brown liquid from his bag of supplies and stuffed it into it. “This is the Ford Spirit. Drinking it will make you feel better,” he said.

“How much do you have left?” Tie Zha asked as he looked at the potion in his hand.

“There are only three bags left.” The Black Pig King said.

Tie Zha thought for a while, then opened the map and looked at it for a while. Then, he shook his head and muttered to himself, “Not enough.” Judging from the map, there was still half a month to go from here to Blackwater Lake, and there was no trouble at all. He was running out of potions from the academy, leaving behind two “high-grade radiation neutralizers” he had brought from the academy. However, these medicines were life-saving. If he used them on an ordinary basis, it would be a waste. After all, these were the special offerings of the Temple Princess, and their effects were several times better than ordinary medicines.

“Forget it. Let’s go back first. We’ll go back when we get enough Ford Spirits.” Tie Zha quickly made the decision that instead of adventuring here, it would be better to prepare well before coming back, and most importantly, they were running out of fuel.

“Perhaps we can find the material chest.” The Black Pig King suggested.

“What if I can’t find it?” Tie Zha asked.

“This” The Black Pig King hesitated for a moment and said, “Don’t worry, there are other ways.”

“Speak clearly if you have any ideas. I don’t have a habit of gambling.” Tie Zha said with a cold face. Back when he entered the high radiation zone, the Black Pig King said that he had brought enough potions to let him rest assured. In the end, this so-called “enough” was based on his own standards, completely ignoring his physical condition. Three packs of Ford Spirits, even if they could survive to the Blackwater Lake, only half of their lives were left.

Seeing that the boss was unhappy, the Black Pig King hurriedly took out a can of brain tissue from the giant beetle that day from his canvas bag and said, “We have this. All problems can be solved.”

“And then?” Tie Zha frowned and looked at him.

“Alright” Seeing Tie Zha’s distrust, the Black Pig King had no choice but to tell the truth. He also had an epic insect transformation ability called Cocoon Formation Evolution. This ability allows him to use the brain tissue of other insects to transform his life form.

“So what?” Tie Zha asked expressionlessly. What did the Black Pig King have to do with him being able to transform his life form?

“This” The Black Pig King hesitated for a moment before finally sighing and saying, “Forget it, I’ll give you a try.”

Next, the two of them set up camp. After the Black Pig King finished his meal, he took out the brain tissue of the giant beetle and drilled into the tent. After a while, he stuck his head out of the tent and warned seriously, “Whatever you see tomorrow, it’s me. Don’t hit me.”

“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded.

After entering the tent, the Black Pig King swallowed the dark green brain tissue and sat down cross-legged. A few minutes later, with a low roar, countless tiny white threads spat out from his sweat glands, forming a cocoon around his body at a visible speed. As time passed, more and more silk threads wrapped around him, completely concealing his body.

He was speechless all night …

The next morning, the dazed slag next to the motorcycle was woken up by a sudden noise. Opening his eyes, he saw the Black Pig King’s tent rise and fall, as if something was wriggling inside. Tie Zha immediately stepped forward and pulled the tent down.

In an instant, a huge cocoon appeared in his eyes. The cocoon was oval in shape, with a diameter of about three meters in the middle and a length of about four meters. At this moment, it was retracting and shrinking, as if something was about to break through the cocoon. Tie Zha frowned and took a few steps back as he pulled out of Merlin’s left wheel. People are always wary of the unknown, and Tie Zha is no exception.

“Ji!”

A few minutes later, a long cry suddenly sounded from within the cocoon, just like the giant beetle from that day. Immediately after, several sharp knuckles stabbed out and waved randomly, gradually tearing open a big hole.

Tie Zha slowly walked over. Just as he was about to look through the crack, a huge beetle suddenly jumped out. Tie Zha immediately took a step back and bent his arms, ready to launch an attack at any time.

“Ji!”

After coming out, the giant beetle shook the mucus on its body and turned its head to look left and right. After discovering Tie Zha, it immediately took a step back, and its six large knuckles slightly bent, making a submissive gesture.

One person and one insect confronted each other for a long time. After confirming that it had no intention of attacking, Tie Zha walked over and asked curiously, “Black Pig King?”

“Ji.” The giant beetle let out a low cry.

“You can’t speak?” Tie Zha asked.

The giant beetle let out another low cry.

“What problem can you solve if you become this?” Tie Zha crossed his hands in front of his chest and examined the other party.

The giant beetle did not make a sound. Instead, it turned around, spread its elytra, and flapped its wings. Tie Zha immediately understood that they didn’t need a car and just flew over. The Black Pig King’s back was four meters long and three meters wide. Apart from sitting, it could also transport supplies.

After understanding what the Black Pig King meant, Tie Zha tidied up the supplies and tents, and then used a rope to fasten them to the Black Pig King’s bug’s back. Finally, Tie Zha lifted the cruiser and wanted to put it on the bug’s back. The Black Pig King immediately took a few steps back and let out a low scream at him.

“This car is pretty good. It’s a pity that I lost it.” Said Tie Zha.

“Ji Ji …” “Can’t carry it?” “Ji …” “Try and talk.” “Ji Ji!” “What a pity” After saying that, Tie Zha hid the Cruiser and the Great Cavalry in a pile of stones nearby. He took out a tent and covered it. If he needed it in the future, he could come back and get it.

Climbing onto the insect’s back, the Black Pig King spread out its elytra wings, and its six large, sturdy limbs forcefully kicked on the ground, instantly soaring into the sky. Tie Zha, who was sitting on the bug’s back, looked into the distance and felt better than riding a motorcycle.

“You should just keep this shape.” Tie Zha suggested. Although he also had the ability to fly, the speed of the ant wing was very slow. Moreover, it would fall off automatically after more than half an hour, preventing him from flying for a long distance.

“Ji Ji!” The Black Pig King Beetle let out a sharp hissing sound, expressing its strong dissatisfaction.

“Right, go and look for the supplies box.” Tie Zha looked down at the ground and said.

The Black Pig King Beetle wriggled its antennae and replied, “Ji …” It let out a cry of affirmation and two cries of denial.

A few hours later, Tie Zha found a large wooden chest with a parachute in the ruins in front of him and patted the back of the Black Pig King. The Black Pig King immediately dived down and flew in the direction Tie Zha pointed.

As they flew at high speed, the distance of more than a thousand meters instantly arrived, and bright yellow figures gradually appeared on the ground. Looking down, he saw dozens of wolves covered in armor crawling around the supply chest, howling towards the sky. These were all worm-like wolves, half-insect and half-wolf, and they were one of the most difficult creatures in the southern cemetery.

As they flew closer, the Black Pig King Beetle’s head shrank and shot out two small legs.

“Whoosh …” With two sharp sounds of piercing through the air, two spear-like knuckles stabbed straight down, piercing through the shell and nailing the two insect-like wolves to the ground.

“Da da da da da da da …” Immediately after, Tie Zha picked up the Black Pig King’s heavy machine gun and swept it towards the pack of wolves on the ground.

Facing the attack from the sky, the giant head wolf howled towards the sky and retreated with the pack of wolves. The two bug-shaped wolves that were nailed to the ground actually twisted their necks, forcefully bit off their piercing limbs, and staggered to catch up with the pack of wolves. That formidable vitality was truly shocking. Only then did Tie Zha truly feel the horror of the mutated creature.

Not long after, one person and one insect stopped beside the supply chest.

Tie Zha pulled out his machete and pried open the wooden box. He peeled off the outer layer of waterproof paper and straw poles and saw that there were tin boxes inside. The sides of the tin boxes were painted with labels, including food, medicine, clothing, alcohol, firearms, ammunition, fuel, etc., as well as atonement coins encapsulated in exquisite wooden boxes.

“Ji!” Looking at the neat supplies, the Black Pig King Beetle let out a triumphant cry.

After an inventory, there were about two hundred atonement coins and twenty gold coins in the wooden box. Looking at Tie Zha’s pocket, the Black Pig King Beetle let out a protest cry.

In terms of medicine, there were ten small therapeutic needles, more than a hundred bags of Fordulin, as well as various toxin neutralizers, stimulants, anesthetics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and so on. Tie Zha packed all the medicine and tied it to the back of the Black Pig King. This was the most valuable item in the supply chest, so naturally, none of it could be left behind.

In terms of weapons, there were 12 semi-automatic rifles, 5 assault rifles, 3 combat shotguns, 1 sniper rifle, and 20 boxes of ammunition of all kinds. For the sake of carrying weight, Tie Zha immediately unloaded the Black Pig King’s revolving barrel heavy machine gun and bullets. In response, the Black Pig King let out another roar of protest.

“This gun of yours is too old. It’s not worth much.” Tie Zha explained.

“Ji Ji!” “I’ll find a place to hide later and come back to get it later.” After convincing the Black Pig Queen, Tie Zha packed his assault rifle, combat shotgun and sniper rifle, picked out two boxes of rifle bullets and a box of shotguns, and stacked them on the bug’s back. The sniper rifle only used ten red silk armor piercing bullets, which were sealed in a small box. Tie Zha dismantled it and stuffed it into the ribbons on his body one by one. Along the way, nearly half of the 200 explosive bombs had been used, so they could only find other weapons to replace them.

In terms of food, there were rice, flour, macaroni, all kinds of meat jerky, compressed biscuits, portable military cans, military meals, and so on. Tie Zha chose the most expensive one of about twenty kilograms and threw the rest of the meat jerky to the Black Pig King Beetle at his urging. After the Black Pig King turned into a beetle, he ate a large amount of beef jerky of 30 to 40 kilograms and over a hundred canned fruits. In a short period of time, he had eaten up all of them.

In terms of wine, there was a case of very old sea demon red wine and three “Misela VSOP”. Misera and Pope’s Saint Augustman Roja are a series of wines, commonly known as Angel Wine, along with Goddess Wine Valkyrie XO and Hero Wine Beowulf VS. For drinks, Tie Zha naturally carried the bottle onto the bug’s back. At this point, the Black Pig King and his thoughts were strangely identical.

Among the remaining supplies, Tie Zha picked out a few tarpaulins and packed the rest on the spot. He found a cave nearby and shipped them all in. Then, he moved large rocks to block the entrance of the cave and made some camouflage. After doing all of this, Tie Zha jumped onto the bug’s back and continued to fly towards the Blackwater Lake while drinking some wine and eating some canned meat …
